What Is RFID Tracking?

You spend a lot of money on your assets. Whether you use your assets at work, in the home, or both, they can be quite costly. With this in mind, it makes sense for you to know that they’re safe. This is especially the case when it comes to the more expensive assets. 

Regardless of what your assets are, how much they cost, and wherever you use them, you need more control over them. This is where RFID asset tracking can help, possibly more so than you know. It can help you to categorise, locate, and manage all of your assets.

Radio Frequency Identification or RFID uses radio frequencies to show where a tagged asset is. Similar to QR codes and barcodes, RFID tags don’t just monitor an asset’s movement, they do so much more. RFID asset tracking offers you much more transparency, automation, and ultimately, control. Consequently, your business could save time and money by transforming your operations.

Do you have any high value assets? Assets such as these could be pieces of fine art, multiple 3D printers, luxury cars, and more. When you have high value assets it makes sense for you to track them. When you can successfully track your expensive assets you can have peace of mind. 

One of the benefits of using RFID asset tracking software is it allows you to see where your assets are 24/7. It also lets you check your assets in and out, assign assets, and much more. 

In order to track your high value assets (and, in fact, any asset), simply do the following:

• Affix an RFID tag to your chosen assets
• Scan the tag with your RFID reader
• See where your assets are
• Update each asset’s digital profile

Whenever you use an RFID reader you’ll be able to locate assets quickly. Some readers have a large range, ensuring they can locate assets with ease. Should a tag pass the reader, the asset’s digital profile will show. All of this helps you to understand where your assets were last seen. This ensures that tracking high value assets is a breeze

There are many benefits associated with RFID asset tracking. Some of these benefits include: 

• Offering you an insight into each asset’s history
• Making auditing much easier as you’ll have an accurate picture of how many assets you have
• Ensuring tags are discrete so they cannot be seen by those who may want to remove them
• Boosting security levels and thereby helping to keep all of your assets safe
• Offering you the chance to create historical data that can be made into a report
• Giving you peace of mind

RFID asset tracking makes life easier because you always know where your assets are. You no longer need to stand on the factory floor trying to guess where everything is. You don’t have to walk around a construction site wondering where the skid steer loader might be. No matter where you are or what you do, you can find your assets within moments. This is why using RFID tags makes life easier.

Did you know that you can upload an instruction manual to your tracking software? You can do this for some or all of your assets. When you do, you’re giving your future self and your team members a bit of a gift. You and they can find the manual in no time. You could also do the same for the insurance information and warranty details. In fact, you can upload whatever information you wish. This is why tracking assets using RFID tags makes life easier. 

Did you know that you can increase security in an instant? When you use RFID tags you can give yourself peace of mind. You can see where your assets are and who is using them. If you wish, you could even ask your team members to note down why they’re using the assets. They can do this via the asset’s digital profile.

It’s amazing that an RFID tag can help to boost security. You don’t have to spend thousands of pounds on state-of-the-art security equipment. You can simply attach an RFID tag. However, when you do, just make sure it’s attached somewhere discrete. Doing so can ensure that the tag is less likely to be removed or damaged. You could keep track of your high value assets, your low value assets, and everything in between. Rest assured that when you attach an RFID tag to any asset, it can be tracked by you easily.
